Guys?? what does this mean to you

[wash0ut16]

When a guy says that" we need to take a month break, but i still love you and want to be together..I'm just too busy right now, and I can't give you the attention you deserve. You should date other people while I can't be there for you and to reassure yourself that I'm the best for you...Date three people a week. We'll stay together, just date other people...If I don't have time for you though, I don't have time for anyone else." He's been acting real edgy lately..not as romantic as usual...he's stressed out about school, grades, etc., but not really showing me how he feels and expressing it to me like before.
Should I worry? Most people have negative views about this...I dunno, he's never been like this before, but now he's changed. Maybe he's just too stressed out, I dunno. I don't wanna see the negative, because our relationship has always been so positive.
He's just really been pushing me to date other people..and I'm kinda confused..why someone who cares about me, wants to stay together, would push me to date other people for a month or so...Well, what do you think? What would make you and why would you say that?
Thanks!

Sorry but it is over.

It may be over. To me, it means that he's found another girl but he still really cares about you and doesn't want to see you get hurt. A guy will never go up to his g/f and tell her that he's met someone else so what you described here seems pretty close to an alternate way of saying just that. I'd suggest letting him do his own thing, maybe find a new b/f since he doesn't seem that committed. There's a lot of nice guys out there, you just have to look carefully.

Yeah, sorry to say this, but I think it's pretty much over. Some people say it can be good to "get away from each other" every once in a while, but if he's pushing you to date other people, there's obviously some other issue. It's just his way of trying to end things without hurting you, even though it's not a good way to do it. Honesty is better even when it hurts, cause it hurts more to find out you've been led along and lied to.
